    H.O.R.S. a new visiting instrument for G.T.C. based on the Utrecht Echelle Spectrograph
    The High Optical Resolution Spectrograph (HORS) is a proposed high-resolution spectrograph for the 10-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) based on components from UES, a spectrograph which was in use at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) between 1992 and 2001. HORS is designed as a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph to observe in the range

    FRIDA, the diffraction limited NIR imager and IFS for the Gran Telescopio Canarias: status report
    FRIDA is a diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrometer that is being built for the Gran Telescopio Canarias. FRIDA has been designed and is being built as a collaborative project between institutions from México, Spain and the USA. In imaging mode FRIDA will provide scales of 0.010, 0.020 and 0.040 arcsec/pixel and in IFS mode

    Flare in the Galactic stellar outer disc detected in SDSS-SEGUE data
    Aims: We explore the outer Galactic disc up to a Galactocentric distance of ≈30 kpc to derive its parameters and measure the magnitude of its flare. Methods: We obtained the 3D density of stars of type F8V-G5V with a colour selection from extinction-corrected photometric data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - Sloan Extension for Galactic

    Final optical design for the WEAVE two-degree prime focus corrector
    WEAVE is the next-generation wide-field optical spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. We present the final optical design for the two-degree Prime Focus Corrector (PFC) for the WHT optimised for WEAVE. The nominal optical design provides a polychromatic PSF that does not exceed 0.6 arcsec

    Fibre positioning concept for the WEAVE spectrograph at the WHT
    WEAVE is the next-generation wide-field optical spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. It is a multi-object "pick and place" fibre fed spectrograph with more than one thousand fibres behind a new dedicated 2° prime focus corrector, This is similar in concept to the Australian Astronomical

    Fibre positioning algorithms for the WEAVE spectrograph
    WEAVE is the next-generation wide-field optical spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. It is a multi-object "pick and place" fibre fed spectrograph with more than one thousand fibres, similar in concept to the Australian Astronomical Observatory's 2dF1 instrument with two observing plates
